Crayfish in Tannery Brook
I think this is Faxonius limosus. Not the greatest pictures, but the spines on the cheeks and colors matched up the best to my eye. Would love to hear opinions.
Hopefully not a rusty crayfish (Faxonius rusticus)! That red at the base of the tale gave me suspicions. (I'll delete the suspicion part of the note once a concensus narrows down the exact genus, or we agree it is not a non-invasive.)
Lawn crayfish?!?!
